January and February Haul | STS [38]

Stacking the shelves is a weekly (in my case, monthly) meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews, and it's all about sharing the books that have come into your possession throughout the week, whether it books added to your collection, ebooks, library books, etc. Sunday post is a weekly meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviewer where bloggers can recap their week, showcase books, and share news.

The Stacks

Bought Books

THE MARTIAN: I wanted to reread this book and annotate it because I am a nerd and this was my favorite book of 2015, so don't judge me.
THE SCORPIO RACES, A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC: I GET TO MEET MAGGIE AND VICTORIA IN MARCH. Obviously I needed more books by them to get signed because duh.
THE GIRL FROM EVERYWHERE: I have heard such wonderful things about this book, so this is one of my preorders for the year. I am so incredibly excited to get to it.
FINNIKIN OF THE ROCK, THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS: Now, I know this portion technically breaks my book buying ban, (because I allowed myself preorders, books I've already read, and books to get signed at the book conference I am attending in March) but these are both used books and I am planning on reading TLBO with Shannon's book club in the second half of 2016.

Library E-Books and Audiobooks

CRESS: I got the audiobook for this one because I feel like I should give this series a second chance. So far, this is the best of the three, but I'm not very far into it so things could change.
THE UNDOMESTIC GODDESS: Audiobooks are definitely the way to go if you pick up a Sophie Kinsella in my opinion. This is one of people's favorites of her's and--even though I am not very far into it--it's really good so far!
THE FAVORITE: Ahh, Selection short stories. I've already read this and gave it four stars because I love Marlee and loved hearing her story. Definitely pick this up if you liked her character.

Physical Library Books

WEIGHT: Another one that I have already read. This one I gave somewhere around 3.5-4 stars. This is a really great retelling of the story of Heracles and Atlas. It's a short and really enjoyable read!
THE CONSPIRACY OF US: I literally picked this one up based solely on the review by Lainey @ Ginger Reads Lainey on Youtube. She absolutely raved about this book, and I had to pick it up when she mentioned one of my buzzwords: Alexander the Great.
THE FALSE PRINCE, THE RUNAWAY KING: This is supposed to be a really amazing MG fantasy series, like one of the absolute best. I'm excited.
THE EVOLUTION OF MARA DYER, THE RETRIBUTION OF MARA DYER: Something I am less excited about, but still reasonably looking forward to reading. I halfway loved the first book, and am more intrigued than excited to read the rest of this series.
